[Intro: Fergie]
Mmm
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Mmm

[Hook 1: will.i.am & Fergie]
You was foolin' me once before, but I tell ya
There's no foolin' me twice no more
Cos when I open up my third eye, my third eye
You can't get away with murder, murder (yeah)
You was foolin' me once before, but I tell ya
There's no foolin' me twice no more
Just stop your oppression, oppression
Check it out, I got a question, a question
If Bush is Pinnochio, Pinnochio
Who the hell is Geppetto, Geppetto
Beware of Geppetto

[Verse 1: will.i.am & Fergie]
'Cuz he got knives and clips
And a dagger that's shaped into a crucifix
And he'll stab your back with it
Give it to your brother as a necklace for Christmas
Welcome to the valley of the beast
Where they sing in harmony, but never speak no peace
Keepin' their eye on the feta, your cheddar
Things that ain't really for the better
I could point out their behaviour
To keep you immune from the poisonous flavor
But once you're caught, I can't save ya
They’ll manipulate your mind, so you enjoy danger
He can sell sand to Iran
Ice to an eskimo, water to a dam
And he is akin to Uncle Sam
The one that taught him how to scam

[Hook 2: will.i.am & Fergie]
He was fooling me once before but I tell you
There's no fooling me twice no more
Cause when I open up my third eye, my third eye
I get away with murder, with murder
Know what I'm saying

[Bridge 1: Fergie]
No, no, no, no, no, no
Can't fool me again
No, no, no, no, no
I'm into games you play
I know your game
No, no, no, no, no, no
Don't fall down again
No, no, no, no, no, no
Won't trip on games you play
I know your game

[Bridge 2: will.i.am & Fergie]
You can fool me once (no, no)
But you can't fool me two times (no, no)
Cause I got three eyes (yeah, yeah)
One up from the left side (yeah, yeah)
The other from the right side (yeah, yeah)
One eye on the inside (yeah, yeah)
And I can see you outside (no, no)
Plotting to come in

[Outro: will.i.am & Fergie]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (you can't fool me)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (you can't do me)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (you can't run through me)
Mmm (yeah)

[Outro: Fergie]
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Sometimes we need to change, to change, to change
Leave the past behind
Leave the past behind, mon chéri
Look into the future
Look ahead, that's right
